“First time eating here. Food is very delicious. I had the Diner Dip and my partner had the Cuban sandwich. He said it reminded him of Miami. For dessert he had the Salted Caramel Cheesecake and I had the German Chocolate Cake. Both very delicious. Our waiter was William D. I highly recommend him as your waiter when you visit. He recommends items from the menu. He is very attentive to your needs. I would give this place five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve lived in the area for years but just noticed the restaurant recently. We decided to order for dinner on a Friday evening, and placed our order online.The online order went smoothly and our food was ready when we arrived at the drive thru. I ordered the blackened catfish platter and my fiancé ordered the crispy catfish platter.Our food tasted incredible! The blackened catfish was delicious, the okra was crispy and the hush puppies were some of the best I’ve ever had. I paired my food with a side of green beans that were cooked perfectly ?Can’t believe we’ve missed out on this place for so long, but we will be back for sure.“

“My brother took us to Mr. Diddy while visiting him from out of town. The restaurant was very clean and the young lady who took our order was very helpful. I got the wings with fries and collard greens. My husband got the salmon with Mac and cheese and fried okra. We also ordered the soul rolls. My wings were very good as well as my fried. My collard greens were okay. My husband said his salmon was delicious. I ate the fried okra which was really good as well. The Mac and cheese were okay. The soul rolls were delicious! The sauce that came along with the soul rolls was good, but not quite sure if it goes with the rolls. Overall we enjoyed our food and would come back to the restaurant when visiting Georgia.“

“If you love chicken salad (and I do!) this spot is a must try. The history of the franchise is really cool. Started by women and to my eyes completely run by women as well! The staff is incredibly friendly and courteous. The amount of variety from traditional chicken salad, to spicy, savory, even fruity, is staggering and definitely warrants multiple trips. I prefer more of a shredded chicken style to their “pressed and scoop” style but that’s merely a preference. The flavors are great and the prices are reasonable as well. Check it out!“

“Where to begin...this will be a long review, so, sorry in advance. Our experience with The Marietta Local began when I reached out to them regarding catering for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Since then, we have nothing but positive things to say. We have been dealing mainly with the owner, Jim, who has been extremely accommodating to us. Every phone call, meeting, etc. he has been our point of contact, which I feel like is rare. Before we even fully committed to Marietta Local for our catering, Jim invited us into the restaurant for a meal and told us to try whatever we wanted. We were not disappointed! We had meatloaf, nashville hot chicken, grits, quinoa salad, collard greens, plus a couple more items that I cannot recall at this time -- everything we had was spectacular! We were served quickly and the staff was so pleasant. We got to sit down with the chef, Emily, and talk through our menu preferences, and she assured us the one thing we would not have to worry about is our food, she had it all under control; which, for anyone who has ever planned a wedding and knows the stress, this was so re-assuring to us. I cannot say enough good things about Emily. She is an incredible human and an even better chef.That same visit, we got to meet Jim in person. His personality is infectious. You can tell he is genuinely so proud of his restaurants and I think that shows in the food and service they put out. While our wedding events are not until this weekend, 3/15-16, I can truthfully say I do not have a single concern about our food, but will definitely write another review or edit this one, post-wedding. I cannot wait for our family and friends to try everything that we have planned with The Marietta Local!TLDR; service and food is 10/10, whether it is catering or breakfast/lunch dine-in. This spot is a must try!Edited to say: our rehearsal and reception food was out of this world good!! We have gotten so many texts telling us the food was some of the best they have ever had! Absolutely use Marietta Local for your catering needs!!! I cannot sing enough praise for the entire team.“

“Great food! Friendly service! $16.99 for a 3 meat combo platter w/ 2 sides is a great value (if you choose ribs as one of your meat, you will get 2 ribs per meat choice). Decent amount of food portion.They have 4 different types of sauces, but there was no label on those sauces, and also the some of the pumps didn't work well (sort of broken) and also the area will need some frequent cleaning and sauce refill. (Minus one star on the Service for this reason).On a Friday evening dinner hours, there were ~4-5 tables of customers.Will visit again if we are in the area and craving for BBQ!“
